PORT CLINTON - A small portion of Fulton Street between Third and Fourth streets was closed for several hours Friday morning after a semi-trailer struck the underpass near South Railroad Street.

According to the Ohio Highway Patrol, the crash occurred at 6:41 a.m. Friday morning. The semi-trailer was unable to make the 12-foot-9-inch clearance and collided with the underpass, damaging the semi and causing it to become stuck.

The truck's driver was cited with assured cleared distance ahead.

Crews worked throughout the morning to both unload the trailer and dislodge it from the underpass. That portion of Fulton Street was closed for at least five hours Friday, until Port Clinton's street department was able to reopen the roadway shortly after noon.
